The year 2016 was one of large-scale and unexpected change for Tampa Bay area blues and soul vocalist Lauren Mitchell. During a tumultuous time in both her personal and professional life, she was given the opportunity to rise from the challenges she was facing and make the album of her career with producer Tony Braunagel. Mitchell took the leap of faith because she is a true student of the blues, a music that's all about finding a way to transform difficult experiences into something cathartic. The timing was perfect. She had an album to record.

That album, "Desire," is her most fully realized musical statement to date. Through a bold mix of her own original material, songs she hand-picked from the repertoires of her friends, and select covers of tunes first performed by Etta James, Bettye Lavette, Diana Ross, Aretha Franklin and Betty Davis, Mitchell tells a blues story that's been a lifetime in the making. It's a stylistically varied set of 13 songs expertly recorded by drummer and Grammy-winning producer Tony Braunagel, whose work with Bonnie Raitt, Taj Mahal and Robert Cray have made him one of today's most in-demand blues industry professionals.

Recorded during a ten-day trip to Los Angeles, Braunagel brought out the best in Mitchell, highlighting every nuance in her powerful vocals and helping her craft an emotionally resonant album that's destined to go down as one of the year's highlights. Besides Braunagel, the band features guitarists Johnny Lee Schell and Josh Sklair, keyboardist Jim Pugh, bassist Reggie McBride, sax player Joe Sublett, trumpet player Darrell Leonard, and percussionist Lenny Castro. "The blues is a song of victory," Mitchell says. "It's a way to say, 'I'm over it,' and now I'm turning it into this beautiful thing that can help someone else heal. That's what this record is for me."

Crafted in 2014, the founders of Twisted Plates set out with a few simple ideas as their guiding principles:

Serve delicious food that is always fresh and hot, do it with a smile and make people feel welcomed like family.

Whether it’s the jittery first date meal that breaks the “norm,” the family of four who is spending a cherished night out or just an out of the box lunch that makes your Monday slightly more bearable… we are guaranteed to have something to fit your cravings!

Our specialty is fun “Twists” on classic American fare. Using these familiar dishes as a starting point, we’re able to twist them up to the next level and provide a fantastic street dining experience!

You could choose “The Drunken Twist”, one of our signature burgers, adorned in house made beer cheese, topped with perfectly fried beer battered onion rings nestled in a warm pretzel bun and complete with our ale mustard to tie it all together or try our “Loaded Tostones”, these fried green plantains are piled high with all kinds of delicious toppings. You honestly cannot go wrong!

Following our convictions has helped us grow to be one of the premier central Florida food trucks. We look forward to continually providing excellent service while also giving back to the community and plan on expanding into additional locations in the future.

Chef Alojz and his wife Michelle are passionate about their authentic French cuisine food trailer. They take great pride and joy in making delectable creations and sharing with the people they meet. Both have cultural ties to France and craved the classic French crepe and macaron. Fueled by their cravings, and inspired by Parisian street food vendors, Chef Alojz traveled back to Brittany, France to attend creperie school. Here he mastered his sweet and savory crepe making skills. Additionally, with great care and practice, he perfected the art of making French macarons. Through Like In Paris they are delighted to be bringing a splash of France to Floridians.

Fun Fact: The French Macaron is very commonly mistaken for the Macaroon - a cookie made with coconut. However, the French Macaron is a delicate meringue-based confection made with two cookies that sandwich sweet, chewy ganache. Truly, just like in Paris.

Being Born in Brooklyn, raised in Italy, and growing up in South Philly I can say I know a thing or two about great tasting street fare. Yo Pauley's Slice Shop makes some of the best NY style pizza sold by the slice you will ever have. We make all the pizza on site and serve by the slice. It's a true NY style slice right here in Florida!

We are a Food Trailer/Truck traveling all over Florida serving up our delicious Maine Lobster Rolls and many other great options. We deliver high quality products efficiently with a great attitude to make your experience the best!

My passion for smoking meats developed years ago when I first witnessed my wife's uncle, Leon (aka "Big Lee"), and his incredible skills on the smoker in the Mississippi Delta, Greenwood to be exact. The quality of the food he made was unparalleled and I couldn't get it out of my mind. But beyond his sheer talent, Uncle Leon had such a joy for cooking and, moreover, for sharing his amazing food with others. He was generous with his trade secrets, too, freely giving me tips on how to achieve better results. We lost Uncle Leon in October of 2012 and his passing has made me more conscious of not only how well I cook, but also how many people I share this gift with here at our food truck. He was an amazing man and he still inspires us today. Thanks, "Big Lee"!
